It’s another golden opportunity for Stella McCartney as she’s again been chosen to fly the flag for Britain with a new Olympics’ deal.

The fashion designer – and sprog of Sir Paul – is to create the official Team GB kit for the 2016 Games.

Strong is the new skinny and sporty is the new sexy... so we can expect some winning designs from her lucrative contract with Adidas.

News of the deal to dress our esteemed Olympians in Rio comes two years after she designed the Lycra-heavy, Union Jack-based range for the London games.

After an initial mixed reaction from critics, the kit went on to be a huge commercial success with fans clamouring to buy replicas.

Stella, 42, is expected to rope in a few of her A-list celeb pals – including Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss – to attend the official unveiling in 18 months’ time.

A source close to the designer says: “Stella was thrilled to be approached once again and said yes straight away. She is a big supporter of strong women, and wants to make the female athletes’ kit feminine yet dynamic.

“Once again she’s been told to make Tom Daley’s diving trunks super-tiny, which is an actual requirement rather than born out of any weird fetish.

“However, she is not a fan of red, so despite the colour being a prominent feature of the Union Jack, it is unlikely to feature in any of her designs.

“Stella has been asked to submit her portfolio for official approval, but has already had loads of ideas. She is very patriotic, and the kit will reflect this.”

Once again there will be a star-studded catwalk launch of the Team GB tracksuits, shorts, costumes and vests.

Some of the 2012 gold medallists, including Jessica Ennis-Hill, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford, are expected to model the range.
